From 1909 to 1912 Paul Tillich devoted himself to an intensive study of Friedrich Schelling's idealistic philosophy; this process of engagement led to the foundations of his early Christology. The objective of the present study is to interpret the development of Tillich's early approach to Christology against the background of Schelling's philosophy, and its systematic elaboration right up until his late work. The appendix contains Tillich's hitherto unpublished doctoral files from Breslau and Halle.
